I notice that some posters are using the term "conduction cooled" 
lately and I'm curious what they mean by it. Aren't all amplifiers 
"conduction cooled" one way or another? Heat is conducted away by 
some means, whether directly by air or liquid or indirectly to a heat 
sink which is in turn cooled by air or liquid.

I'm aware of "radiation cooling" too, but I doubt many high power 
amplifiers use that.

Some clarification would be appreciated.
